I like this shot with all the contrasting colors, shapes, textures!

Blue sky, fluffy clouds rain, Deep blue sea, white waves, dark sand where waves are receding, smooth, light sand, jagged coast covered with multi-colored vegetation... all coming together at the vanishing point.

Excellent!

Those Dry-stone Walls

Bruce Munday
With photos by Kristin Munday

South Australia is blessed with beautiful stone – stone with colour, texture and light. Some of our stone structures have stood for 150 years, never touched by mortar.

The stories behind these stone walls are captured in this book, first published in December 2012 and launched by David Williamson.

The book sold out four times and was reprinted with revisions.

‘Those Dry Stone Walls’ is now out of print again. Wakefield Press and I have decided that rather than go to a fourth reprint I should write a second edition – a lot has happened since 2012 and there is a much more to say about this otherwise obscure topic. I have now completed this and expect that it will be published around mid-2022 (WhooHoo!). Should be good.

If you are interested in purchasing a signed copy of the new edition or simply want to say hello, please contact Bruce as indicated below.

I understand that Port Fairy was named after a ship called the Fairy that
called there regularly by the captain of that ship.
